The premise
In a post apocalyptic world where technology is outlawed, Walter, a reclusive scientist, secretly creates a self-aware android, "Puzzlehead". Jealously erupts when Puzzlehead wins the affection of Julia, the beautiful shopgirl that Walter has longed for. The resulting sci-fi love triangle is a Frankensteinian fable that traps all three in a web of deception and the ultimate betrayal.
Horror Vault's take
In a dystopian future where technology has been outlawed, a lone scientist defies society by engineering a sentient android in secret. When his creation begins to overshadow him in ways he never anticipated — including capturing the heart of a woman he quietly adores — the bond between maker and made curdles into something dangerous. This low-budget, cerebral fable draws heavily on the Frankenstein myth, exploring what happens when the created surpasses the creator. Tension mounts in a world of shadows and scarcity where jealousy may be the most destructive technology of all.
